Mid-Week Triples v Merton

17.8.23 – This afternoon we had our next Mid-Week Triples fixture at home to Merton. Two close matches took place with Bob, Richard F and Martin just heading their opponents until the 15th end where Merton caught the edge of a short bowl to flick the Jack for a count of 5. Despite WPBC winning two of the last three ends, Merton took the game 15 – 13. Sue F, Anne and Neil opened up an 11 – 2 lead after 8 ends, before Merton closed the gap to 11 – 8. The final run in saw WPBC hold on to win 18 – 14 and with it the match 6 – 2 (31 shots to 29).
